Primates

Primates group contains monkeys, apes, galagos, lemurs, tarsiers and lorises. Most primates live in tropical or subtropical regions of the Americas, Africa and Asia. Primates range in size from the small mouse lemur (30g) up to large gorilla (200kg). Primates are belonging to mammals group, but have slower rates of development than other similarly sized mammals, and reach maturity later but have longer life spans. Some species live in solitude, others live in male–female pairs, and others live in groups of up to hundreds of members.
